Duncan James writes "to avoid adjacent typebars clashing.” (A)Professor Koichi Yasuoka writes "Adjacent typebars?"

I support Darryl Rehr's adjacency theory.
So I support Duncan James's.

How do you read Duncan James of "adjacent typebars"?

Numerals 3 and 4, alphabet A and Q of typebars are adjacent on the type-basket,,,are these right?

Or if the observation is right, the collision risks at total typebasket of adjacent typebars decleased by the Yasuoka distribution from the Dickerson regulation.

Oops! Sholes call both keylevers and typebars as keys in pat. #118491.

Oops! Sholes call both keylevers and typebars as keys in patent number: 118491.
The key has double meaning for keylever and for typebar in Sholes' patent number: 118491.

But keys get to jam?, not typebars, if with wire-stringed?

But keys get to jam?, not typebars, if with wire-stringed, like on S&Gs..? I wonder..
Cause wire may able to bend easily if got pressing force.



Some expressions look as : cf. "The keys used to jam", "keys sticking together", "keys to jam"..

I understand if typebars got moving by hard linkage mechanism, like connected with rod or so.
If typebars've got jammed, then that causes keys also get stuck, too.

But when typebars got moved by kick-up, sure even if typebars got stuck, keys can come up back to the normal position with showing almost as if nothing had happened on the end of typebars..

And when if typebars would get motion by wire, also keys can come up back, I guess.

How about on your wireds?
Wouldn't you mind to tell of yours, for me of not owning any wired , please?
